Headed to New York City, Boston or Washington, D.C., this weekend? You may soon find it easier to catch a train out of Baltimore’s Penn Station.

Amtrak is adding eight new daily trains through the North Baltimore hub on weekdays, two additional Saturday morning trains with access to Washington, D.C., and four new Sunday trains heading northbound.

The additional trips on Northeast Regional trains, a slower but more affordable service than that provided by Amtrak’s sleek Acela speedsters, represent a 20% increase in weekday service and a 10% increase on Sundays, according to the passenger rail company.

Amtrak, which says it experienced roughly 29% ridership growth between fiscal years 2022 and 2023, is investing billions of dollars in the region in the coming decade with major renovations to Penn Station, including two new platforms; rebuilt bridges; and, most notably, a $6 billion tunnel underneath West Baltimore to replace one built in the 19th century. It’s all part of the company’s ambitious goal to double its total annual ridership to 66 million by 2040.
